As good as it sounds regularly doing 160 - 200K where I ride in the top of the south would transform you from kiwibiker to kiwiwalker faster than Bill English claiming a dodgey perk

i just voted 80+ K's over the speed limit as it said, what is an acceptable speed on a public road :slap: but it should hve read 0-20 k's over

Sure sure, you just realised it's a public poll more likely.

I sit between 105km and 109km i will only overtake cages if they are going slower than 105km or i find them uncomfortable to ride behind, but i enjoy overtaking as many cages as possiable.

0-20km over the open limit,not in town is my opinion,and most I'd suggest,also 120km on radar or gps might be 125 on speedo,so I'm all for 125km on speedo.

Road speed is a personal judgement call, 10 kph over is acceptable (with two 'C's) by the H/Way Patrol.
What is acceptable by those who post and vote on here may not be the acceptable by law.

Nobody on here is a 'Law maker', so I conclude that everyone just carry on with whatever speed they are comfortable with, whether it be within the bounds of acceptability or not by Law. Because cleary, that whats been going ever since the speed limit has been law.
